Platforms, Promotion, and Product Discovery: Evidence from Spotify Playlists Luis Aguiar and Joel Waldfogel NBER Working Paper No. 24713 June 2018 JEL No. L82 ABSTRACT Digitization has vastly increased the amount of new music produced and available directly to consumers. While this has levelled the playing field between already-prominent and new artists, creators may now be dependent on platform decisions about which songs and artist to promote. With Spotify emerging as a major interactive streaming platform, this paper explores the effect of Spotify’s playlists on both the promotion of songs and the discovery of music by new artists, using four approaches. First, we examine songs’ streaming volumes before and after their addition to, and removal from, major global playlists. Second, we compare streaming volumes for songs just on, and just off, algorithmic top 50 playlists. Third, we make use of cross-country differences in inclusion on New Music Friday lists, using song fixed effects to explain differences in streaming. Fourth, we develop an instrumental variables approach to explaining cross-country New Music Friday rank differentials based on home bias. Being added to Today’s Top Hits, a list with 18.5 million followers during the sample period, raises streams by almost 20 million and is worth between $116,000 and $163,000. Inclusion on New Music Friday lists substantially raises the probability of song success, including for new artists.

Kappel Chair in Applied Economics 3-177 Carlson School of Management University of Minnesota 321 19th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55455 and NBER [email protected] 1 Introduction Digitization has stimulated substantial growth in new song production and has, with the development of online music streaming, also broken the traditional promotion and distribu- tion bottlenecks inherent in terrestrial radio and traditional music retailing.1 During 2016, Spotify added over half a million (567,693) songs to its catalog and during 2017 nearly an additional million (934,265).2 As a result, Spotify users have access to 35 million tracks via any Internet-connected device.3 Consumers’ access to large catalogs, and the converse - that creators, not just those from established record labels, have access to large audiences - are on their face a substantial levelling of the playing field, holding out the promise of decon- centrating consumption toward a long tail of products hailing from diverse sources such as independent record labels and foreign producers.4 Access to an increasingly large catalog creates a daunting problem of product discovery, how- ever. Beyond getting consumers access to a large catalog, a major value-creating function of a platform is helping consumers to discover music that they like. Broadly speaking, plat- forms do this in two ways. First, they create personalized music suggestions, via individual playlists such as Spotify’s Discover Weekly, or Pandora’s song- or artist-seeded individual stations. These systems have been the subject of much research on recommender systems and music taxonomy (see, for example, Adomavicius and Tuzhilin, 2005). Second, platforms promote discovery via general, i.e. one-to-many, playlists. Some of these lists - like Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits - are curated using human discretion and are often used to promote songs and artists that are already widely known. Other curated lists - like Spotify’s New Music Friday - are more specifically dedicated to the discovery of new songs and artists. Algorith- mic playlists - like the Global Top 50 or the U.S. Viral Top 50 - are, on the other hand, based algorithmically on streaming charts rather than human curators. The interactive music streaming market has a number of major participants, including Spo- tify as well as services from Apple Music and Google.5 Spotify is growing quickly, and in 2017 Spotify was reported to have a 37 percent share of the subscription streaming market.6 1See, for example, Waldfogel, 2017. 2See http://everynoise.com/sorting_hat_closet/ for weekly lists of songs added to Spotify. 3See United States Securities and Exchange Commission (2018). 4See, for example, Zentner et al. (2013) showing that video consumption deconcentrates when consumers have access to an online selection. 5See http://www.businessinsider.com/google-reshuffles-its-music-products-2017-2. 6See https://www.statista.com/statistics/653926/music-streaming-service-subscriber-sha 1 With Spotify emerging as the leading interactive streaming service, it is interesting to explore whether Spotify influences consumption choices through its general playlists, which function in two ways. First, playlists are potentially informative lists of songs that can simply make users aware of particular songs. Second, playlists are utilities for listening to music: a user who subscribes to a playlist can select it, then automatically play its songs in either rank or random order. Users opt into playlists by subscribing to them at no cost, and the most popular playlists have nearly 20 million subscribers. These developments raise questions about how and whether playlists affect consumption choices and promote the discovery of new songs and artists. Growing concentration in the streaming market puts streaming platforms among the handful of online platforms that have come to dominate, or nearly dominate, their respective markets in search advertising (Google), social networking (Facebook), online retailing (Amazon), and others. Some observers warn of a new era of “Internet monopoly” and call for heightened antitrust enforcement.7 The usual concern about market dominance is that firms with market power will harm consumers by charging high prices. While the major platforms do not charge consumers high prices - and in many cases do not charge consumers at all - dominant platforms warrant attention even if they do not deliver high prices to consumers.8 Platforms are sometimes alleged to affect the fortunes of their suppliers, and in the music context, platforms can play important roles in determining song and artist success, including the determination of which songs and artists are discovered in the first place.9 While Spotify is not a music producer, the major record labels have substantial ownership stakes in Spotify. Sony BMG owns 5.8 percent, Universal owns 4.8 percent, Warner Music owns 3.8 percent, and EMI has 1.9 percent. Merlin, which represents many independent record labels, owns 1 percent.10 It is therefore of interest to understand the extent of a prominent platform’s ability to influence which songs and artists succeed. Against this backdrop, this paper explores whether Spotify has the ability to influence users’ re/. 7For example the Open Markets Institute argues that “Online intermediaries have emerged as the railroad monopolies of the 21st century, controlling access to market and increasingly determining who wins and who loses in today’s economy.” See https://openmarketsinstitute.org/issues/tech-platforms/. George Soros has argued that the “fact that they are near-monopoly distributors makes them public utilities and should subject them to more stringent regulations, aimed at preserving competition, innovation, and fair and open universal access.” See Porzecanski (2018). 8See Ip (2018). 9See Edelman (2011) and Zhu and Liu (2016). 10See Lindvall (2009) and Arrington (2009). 2 listening decisions. First, we ask whether playlist inclusion affects the number of streams that songs receive. Second, we ask the related but distinct question of whether playlist inclusion decisions affect consumers’ discovery of new songs and artists. These questions recall the traditional question of whether promotion on radio stimulates music sales, one that is empirically challenging to address because playlist and airplay decisions are endogenous: curators choose songs they expect will be popular. We employ four empirical approaches to measure the impact of playlist inclusion on song performance. (1) We use the discontinuous jumps in the number of songs’ playlists followers when widely followed lists add a song. (2) For algorithmic

  • Nielsen Music Year-End Report Canada 2016
    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

  • Financing Music Labels in the Digital Era of Music: Live Concerts and Streaming Platforms
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLS\7-1\HLS101.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-MAR-16 12:46 Financing Music Labels in the Digital Era of Music: Live Concerts and Streaming Platforms Loren Shokes* In the age of iPods, YouTube, Spotify, social media, and countless numbers of apps, anyone with a computer or smartphone readily has access to millions of hours of music. Despite the ever-increasing ease of delivering music to consumers, the recording industry has fallen victim to “the disease of free.”1 When digital music was first introduced in the late 1990s, indus- try experts and insiders postulated that it would parallel the introduction and eventual mainstream acceptance of the compact disc (CD). When CDs became publicly available in 1982,2 the music industry experienced an un- precedented boost in sales as consumers, en masse, traded in their vinyl records and cassette tapes for sleek new compact discs.3 However, the intro- duction of MP3 players and digital music files had the opposite effect and the recording industry has struggled to monetize and profit from the digital revolution.4 The birth of the file sharing website Napster5 in 1999 was the start of a sharp downhill turn for record labels and artists.6 Rather than pay * J.D.

    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments.

    Jeff Smith Head of Music, BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music Media Masters – August 16, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m here in the studios of BBC 6 Music and joined by Jeff Smith, the man who has chosen the tracks that we’ve been listening to on the radio for years. Now head of music for BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music, Jeff spent most of his career in music. Previously he was head of music for Radio 1 in the late 90s, and has since worked at Capital FM and Napster. In his current role, he is tasked with shaping music policy for two of the BBC’s most popular radio stations, as the technology of how we listen to music is transforming. Jeff, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Jeff, Radio 2 has a phenomenal 15 million listeners. How do you ensure that the music selection appeals to such a vast audience? It’s a challenge, obviously, to keep that appeal across the board with those listeners, but it appears to be working. As you say, we’re attracting 15.4 million listeners every week, and I think it’s because I try to keep a balance of the best of the best new music, with classic tracks from a whole range of eras, way back to the 60s and 70s. So I think it’s that challenge of just making that mix work and making it work in terms of daytime, and not only just keeping a kind of core audience happy, but appealing to a new audience who would find that exciting and fun to listen to.
